Hey, hey beautiful mama!
Can you believe it? The end of summer is sneaking up on us, and I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling a mix of “finally, some structure!” and “where did the time go?” As we bid farewell to lazy beach days, endless popsicles, and the sweet, sweet chaos that is summer, it’s time to start thinking about getting back into the swing of things with school, routines, and (dare I say it?) meal planning. But don’t worry, we’re wrapping up summer with a bang and making sure you’re all set for the Labour Day long weekend.
End music

Bonus Labour Day Long Weekend Menu
**Bonus Labour Day Menu:**
And because I couldn’t let you face Labour Day without a little extra help, here’s a bonus menu to keep the celebrations going strong and help you plan ahead for next week:
- **Sticky Honey-Garlic Drumsticks:** Juicy chicken drumsticks glazed in a sticky, sweet, and savory honey-garlic sauce, grilled to perfection. These drumsticks are finger-licking good and perfect for an outdoor feast.
- **Grilled Corn and Avocado Salad:** Fresh grilled corn tossed with creamy avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and a zesty lime dressing. This salad is vibrant, refreshing, and pairs perfectly with those sticky drumsticks.
- **Loaded Baked Potato Salad:** A twist on the classic, this potato salad is loaded with crispy bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, and a creamy dressing. It’s like a loaded baked potato but in salad form—comforting and indulgent.
- **Garlic Butter Green Beans:** Fresh green beans sautéed in garlic butter until tender-crisp, with a sprinkle of parmesan on top. This simple side dish is packed with flavor and adds a healthy balance to the meal.
- **Strawberry Shortcake Trifles:** Layers of buttery shortcake, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream, served in individual jars or cups. It’s a light, summery dessert that’s as fun to eat as it is to make.
This menu combines classic, comforting flavors with a bit of flair, making it the perfect way to celebrate the Labour Day weekend with family and friends. Enjoy every bite and soak up these last moments of summer!
Hope this episode blesses and inspires you! I'll see you in my next episode that drops Weds. 😍
Have a blessed and beautiful week!
